Gold and Platinum Coin Sales Resume: Latest US Mint Prices & Sales Figures

0

2008 American Eagle and Buffalo Bullion CoinsThe United States Mint resumed sales of collector gold and platinum coins Thursday at 12:00 noon (ET). The Mint suspended the coins to readjust prices Wednesday.

Nearly all American Buffalo gold and American Eagle gold and platinum collector coin prices were decreased, as expected, to better match recent price drops in precious metal prices. However, all 1/10 oz and two of the 1/4 oz coins were actually priced higher. Interestingly, Mint sales figures for those sizes experienced some of the highest percent increases over last week.

The following table compares American Eagle and Buffalo old and new prices, as well as the differences between Mint sales figures from last week to this week. Perhaps most noticeable is the standout 13 percent sales increase for the 2008-W American Eagle Platinum Proof 4-coin set.
